Omni International Bead Ruptor Elite Bead Mill Homogenizer

The Omni International Bead Ruptor Elite is a benchtop bead mill homogenizer used to grind, lyse and homogenize biological samples prior to nucleic acid, protein or small molecule extraction. Samples are loaded into bead-filled tubes held in a tube carriage inside the hinged, sealed grinding chamber, and the unit agitates them at user-set speed, cycle, run time and dwell time. The Bead Ruptor Elite runs at speeds up to 8 m/s and handles sample volumes from roughly 25 uL up to 50 mL depending on the tube carriage fitted, with carriages available for 0.5 mL through 50 mL tubes. Operation is through the color touchscreen on the front of the unit, which stores programmable protocols and shows speed, cycles, run time and dwell. The unit is rated 115/230 V, 50/60 Hz, 10 A fuse, and is CE marked per the serial tag. This machine, serial number EL21509, is shown installed on a laboratory bench in a biopharmaceutical facility with its power cord attached. Photos show the hinged chamber lid with quick-release latch, the drive hub and chamber interior, and the front touchscreen panel. No tube carriage is seated on the drive hub in the photos, and no accessories or carriages are pictured with the unit. A handwritten label is affixed to the lid and some sample debris is visible in the chamber. Ships as one benchtop piece, approximately 16 x 14 x 14 inches and 65 lbs estimated shipping weight.
